Here's the 2021 schedule for the Redbirds

- From Staff Reports

Baseball will return to Autozone Park on April 6.

That's when the Memphis Redbirds, the Triple-a affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals, will open the 2021 season with the first of a six-game series against the Indianapol­is Indians. When the Redbirds take the field, it will be the first time they've played a game since September 2019, as the 2020 season was called off due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“On behalf of the entire organizati­on, we cannot wait to have baseball return to Autozone Park,” Redbirds president Craig Unger said in a news release. “The release of our 2021 schedule by Major League Baseball is no doubt a welcome developmen­t for our great fans, business partners and downtown Memphis as a whole. We are looking forward to welcoming everyone back and introducin­g several new teams to Memphis in addition to resuming our rivalry with Nashville.”

As part of Major League Baseball's new model for the minor leagues, the Redbirds' season will be played in sixgame series against members of the East Division.
